So if i marry a HK citizen, will i be applicable for PR without working for 7 years in HK? and if i only get a dependent visa.. do i still need a work permit to work in HK?
let's just say i'm single, how much chances do i get to apply for a work permit if i only have a diploma but solid 5 years experiences in senior managerial position in manufacturing area?

If you marry a HK resident, you can apply for a dependant visa. Mind you, it has to be a genuine marriage and not a sham one just to get a visa. THe Immigration Department will want to see proof of the genuineness of the relationship. It's not just as easy as getting married and applying for one. You still have to be here in HKG with a valid visa for 7 years before you're eligible for PR, and that is a valid visa where you are actually resident, not a tourist visa.

thank u shoe girl and greenV...
so to conclude. if i marry a HK citizen, i will need solid proof of marriage to get a dependant visa. with a dependant visa, i do not need a working visa anymore in order to work in hk. and as long as i hold the dependant visa for 7 years, i will be a PR.
pls correct me if i'm wrong in this.

Mooboxy, to be eligible for PR, you have to have been ordinarily resident in HKG for a period of not less than 7 years. This means that you have taken HKG as your home and are not resident in any other country. By the way, which passport do you hold? If you're a Chinese national, different rules apply in respect of getting visas in HKG.

wow.. more complicated now. i'm holding a singapore passport. i have plans to get into hk next year to be with my love one bringing our relationship to another level, so i will be residing and working in hk onwards. thats why i'm quite an idiot in wat happens after marriage. PR doesnt matter cos i know i will be there for a long long time. more of a concern on the processes and uses of dependant visa.

Dear Mooboxy,
The website you're reading is from a company who handle immigration. Whilst it may be quite useful and informative, I think it's best that you use the official HKSAR Government's Immigration Department website www.immd.gov.hk
